The Pershing Rifles drilled part of the time on the south campus and part of the time in the armory. Considering the cold weather and the slippery ground they did exceedingly well. When they drilled on the familiar arm ory lloor their work was better than expected by the most enthusiastic. On the campus the drill -was in both normal and extended order with one battle exercise; indoors the company marched and countermarched in every forma tion and gave the bayonet exercise and man ual with and without the numbers. The chief feature was the presentation of a costly silk flag to the Rifles by Chancellor MacLean act ing for Lieut. Pershing. It was a proud color guard that moved forward under Liet. Weeks to receive the colors from Liet. Stotenburg and Chancellor MacLean. And the company was proud, too, as Capt. Oury brought them to present arms and the band played wThe Star Spangled Banner" with the silken folds of the new Hag unfurled in the breeze. 'Jflio Paillmliuii Party. The Valentine party given by the Palladian girls at the homo of Miss Jefiery last Monday evening, adds one more event to the annals of Palladianism. That it was a delightful party is as natural as the relation of cause and ef fect. Could a saint have read some of the verses and seen some of the artistic produc tions which were put up at auction, he would certainly have said they were too demonstra tive to be doubtful it was Cupid's day. The value of the gems varied inversely as the prices paid. The latter ranged from ton pounds of chocolate to forty smiles this was Cupids' day. The evening was spent with games and a general good tine. Two beauti fully decorated tables, loaded down with delicacies from the hands of the Pall, girls, refreshed the eighty guests, only to make them lighter hearted than ever Cupid was found in it all. The alumni present were Messrs. T. F. A. Williams, E. F. Piper, Z, E. Crook, A. S. Johnson, the Misses Flora and Edna Bullock, Nettie Philbrick, and Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Tucker. There certainly is not one who will not remember St. Valentine's day at the home of Miss Jefiery as one of the brightest and most enjoyable events of their life. jVliimiii mid Former iStuclciitw. M.
